just started this
xmas gift from gf

i need to get on this type of s***. my thirst for history is increasing lately, gonna try to watch a broad range of documentaries at least
also need to try to read more in general in 2024. read like almost a book a month this year but like half of em were just music books which doesnt really feel the same
Brad Dourif is so underrated, dude seemed like he should have had a bigger career. I’m reading Wise Blood now but I didn’t really care for Huston’s film even tho Dourif was a great lead choice.
He’s from my hometown

Yeah man it is, esp compared to some other places I’ve lived. Just like everywhere else prices of everything have been steadily going up but all in all it’s still pretty reasonable to get by.

i need to get on this type of s***. my thirst for history is increasing lately, gonna try to watch a broad range of documentaries at least
Couple things you gotta see are;
1. The World At War, epic early 70s BBC documentary that has 24, one hour long episodes that go through all the important situations leading up to the war and crucial conflicts during. Amazing cause it has (seemingly) unbiased interviews with people from all sides and walks of life during the war. Japanese politicians, Russian peasants, American sailors, famous British commanders, literal Nazi generals after they served their time in prison
the fact that they don't edit out a Nazi calling the Holocaust a hoax tells me it's pretty unbiased. Doesnt tell the hogwash version where America won the war and saved the world. Incredibly tasteful narration from Laurence Olivier.
2. A couple docs from Brit Adam Curtis which help explain why America (Hypernormalisation) and why Russia (Traumazone). Juxtaposing accidently comically absurd moments with horrifyingly dark historical turns while playing some of the most incredible deep cuts
really capture a unique and ridiculous vibe. Almost like the creators of Napoleon Dynamite were there to knowingly observe the collapse of the Soviet Union and American Empire.

i already have the first one written down from your rec a while ago but def. not ready to take that deep dive yet. and looking up the 2nd i realize my friend actually mentioned one of these before
anything more ancient? or even just older than a few hundred years. might be looking to do a more chrono method (only half joking) before going for modern stuff

its sounds deep but its very accessible.
idk I just read Wolf Of The Plains, an incredible series on Genghis and the Mongolians that I couldn't put down. 800 years ago but they cut a swath from China to nearly Africa and were totally poised to conquer Europe if Ghengis' son (who was now Khan) didnt suddenly die, meaning Tsubodai (arguably greatest tactician that ever lived) had to turn his horde around and head back to Mongolia to pick a new Khan. they were about 100 km from Venice and wouldn't have stopped till they got to the Atlantic. one of the most pivotal single deaths in all history.

That's just enough to scratch the surface
were still dealing with a s***load of repercussions from the war (seeds for Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Gaza, China/Taiwan, etc) so it's pretty relevant
